NFL Top 100 List Rants

Let's jump right in, shall we. 

First of all congrats to Aaron Donald on getting #1, absolutely deserving. Only person I would've put ahead of him is Mahomes, who by the way was number 4. FOUR. F O U R. That's probably my biggest issue with the list. This kid, in his FIRST YEAR AS A STARTER, threw for 5,097 YARDS and 50 TOUCHDOWNS. In his FIRST YEAR AS A STARTER, and he was put at number 4. That's disrespect to me. I was SHOCKED that he was that low. 

Drew Brees, who was number 2 on the list, should not have been ahead of him. Not saying he's not deserving of a top spot, but he didn't deserve to be above Mahomes, and yes I am salty about it. Call me biased because I'm a Panthers fan so I automatically don't like Brees, but I could be a fan of someone in the AFC and would probably still say the same thing. I know he had a great year, I know he broke an all time record, and I know him and Pat lost in the same round of the playoffs, but in my mind, there is no reason why Brees should've been above Mahomes. Completion percentage sure, low interception rate sure, but I still don't see it. MVP runner up over the MVP? Yeah, makes perfect sense. 

Next rant, why the hell is Aaron Rodgers still in the top 10. I didn't even think he deserved to be in the top 10 last year and yet here he is again this year. He missed almost half the season last year, didn't make the playoffs, was voted #10. Low third down completion percentage this year, didn't make the playoffs, was voted #8. How does that make any sense. Also lost to the Lions twice this year but you know that's just some background information. But you know there's supposedly a GOAT debate between him and Tom Brady (I heard a lot of dumb things tonight but that probably takes the cake tbh). If you know me, you know I have a deep, pure hatred for ANY Boston/New England sports team, so me saying that that's one of the dumbest things I've ever heard is a lot coming from me. I would never defend any Boston sports player or team, but I am defending Brady on this one because that's just purely stupid. I don't get the Aaron Rodgers hype, and I never have. To me there's no reason for him to be in the top 10 this year. Deandre Hopkins should've replaced him in top 10, and it's ridiculous that he didn't, not having a single drop all year I mean COME FUCKING ON. 

Speaking of Brady, I was hoping he'd be out of the top 5 this year, and he was, but as soon as I saw that he was, I was taken aback. Brady was voted #6, and like I said before, I never defend Boston sports, but I have his back on this one. Personally I think his defense won that super bowl this year, but you can't win a super bowl without a good quarterback, and Brady went out and won his 6th at 41 years old, so to be voted out of the top 5 yes I was pleased, but also confused. If I could alter the top 5 I'd have it Mahomes, Donald, Brees, Brady, Gurley, then have Khalil Mack at 6, instead of 3. 

Next rant, I'm really just wondering why Alvin Kamara was voted above Christian McCaffrey. If it was up to me I would swap Kamara and CMAC, putting Alvin at 42 and Christian at 14. Check PFR and tell me who had a better season, please. I wont go into depth with this one because I think it's kinda obvious, so if you have any interest look at PFR (pro football reference). Also, Alvin Kamara above Saquon Barkley. L O L. The kid who runs behind above and away the worst O-Line in football (and they are BADDDD. believe me, they are badddd.) with one of the worst quarterbacks in the league (lol ily Eli but you are WASHED) had one of the best years I've ever watched as a running back, but still got voted lower than Kamara. You could argue that Kamara had to share his touches with Mark Ingram and so his yards were decreased, but he plays with Drew Brees at quarterback, behind a top 5 O-Line, and even gets more touches than Ingram. So, yeah, don't know why he's ahead of CMC and Saquon but OKAY. 

I'm not gonna ramble on about this one, but there isn't 23 players in the league better than Luke Kuechly, so him being at 24 is garbage. 

I think that about does it for my rants, feel free to comment on anything or debate me, I'm open to debate! We can be Max and Stephen A ;)
